Chapter 503

Moments later, the light vanished inside the warehouse. Immediately, a violent tremor shook the warehouse. Everyone watched the warehouse tensely, unsure what was happening inside.

Suddenly, the warehouse door was thrown open, and Eric rushed out. His face was filled with terror and panic, and he still held some supplies in his hands.

"W-what is going on?" everyone cried out in shock.

Li An looked at Eric, a flash of cold light passing through his eyes: "Eric, you have finally revealed your true face. These supplies were stolen by you, weren't they?"

Eric's face turned extremely pale. He stammered, "I... I didn't mean to... they forced me..."

"Who are they?" Li An asked coldly.

Eric hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "It... it was people from the Phantom Lord Guild. They threatened me, saying if I didn't help them steal supplies, they would kill me."

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. They never expected that Eric was truly a traitor, and one forced by the Phantom Lord Guild.

Jose's face turned extremely ugly. He never expected his conspiracy to be exposed so quickly. He glared viciously at Eric and said, "You good-for-nothing! How dare you betray us!"

Li An looked at Jose and said coldly, "Guildmaster Jose, what do you have to say now?"

Jose gritted his teeth and said, "Hmph, you are impressive. However, this matter is not over. We, the Phantom Lord Guild, will not let this go!"

Having spoken, Jose and his subordinates left in disgrace.

After repelling Ibaraki Doji in the Yokai World last time, Li An and Guo Yao bid farewell amidst the admiration and gratitude of the yokai, setting off on a new journey. They had heard the legendary stories of the Fairy Tail Guild and learned that the guild was facing internal strife and external threats, so they decided to go investigate, thus beginning their wonderful adventure in the Fairy Tail world.

Inside the Fairy Tail Guildhall, the lights were bright, yet the atmosphere was unusually grave. Guild members sat around, whispering to one another, each wearing an expression of confusion and expectation on their faces, unaware of what Li An had gathered everyone for today.

Natsu sat in the front row, stomping his foot on the ground repeatedly, looking somewhat restless: "Hey, what exactly is Li An up to, being so secretive?"

Lucy patted his shoulder gently from the side and soothed, "Don't rush. Li An must have something important to say."

Li An stood on the stage, his expression stern, his gaze sweeping over the crowd below before finally settling on one person, the traitor. At that moment, the traitor sat below, pretending to be unconcerned, yet his eyes flickered involuntarily; whenever his gaze met Li An's, he quickly looked away. 117

"Everyone, be quiet." Li An spoke, his voice steady and powerful, instantly silencing the entire hall. "I have gathered everyone here today to uncover a secret hidden within our guild."

Everyone looked at one another, their confusion deepening. Guildmaster Makarov sat at the very front, his eyes revealing trust and expectation; he nodded slightly, signaling Li An to continue.

"Within our guild, there is a traitor who has colluded with the Phantom Lord Guild, attempting to destroy our Fairy Tail." Li An's words were like a heavy bomb, causing an uproar among the crowd.
